The horse‐chestnut leaf miner, Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimic (1986), is a new pest of horse‐chestnut in Central and Eastern Europe. To combat it, for example, by pheromones, experiments which require a differentiation of sexes are necessary. Here an easy method to distinguish the sexes by morphological characters of the pupae is described.
